October is the time to enjoy the outdoors, especially early October. It is the time of beautiful Fall color when the Aspen trees turn yellow and the Dogwoods turn a red. When the weather is good, it is a great time to hike.
October is also a time when both locals and regular visitors start think about the coming winter and skiing. Many of the ski and snowboard shops are having great sales in hopes of selling out before the Ski Swaps begin in November. Also many locals either have their winter jobs in place or looking forward to the early November Job Fairs.
